The CDR, HRC–St. Louis (AHRC–MSL) will determine if a material error existed in a <strong>Soldier</strong>s records when thefile was reviewed by the selection board. It must be presumed that a material error in the file may have contributed tononselection. An error is material when, in the judgement of a mature individual familiar with selection boardproceedings, a reasonable chance exists that had the error not existed, the <strong>Soldier</strong> may have been selected. <strong>Soldier</strong>srequesting reconsideration normally will be granted reconsideration only for the most recent board held prior to the<strong>Soldier</strong>’s request. In other words, the <strong>Soldier</strong> will be given reconsideration for only one board. The following governsreconsideration policy:(1) The CDR, HRC–St. Louis (AHRC–MSL) may forward records to the STAB without a request from the <strong>Soldier</strong>when an omission or material error is found.(2) Within 1 year of notification of the board results, <strong>Soldier</strong>s not recommended for promotion may requestreconsideration, if they believe their record contained a material error when it was considered.(a) The request must be in writing <strong>and</strong> must clearly <strong>and</strong> fully state the reason for the request.(b) Appropriate supporting documentation must accompany the request.(c) Failure or inability of a <strong>Soldier</strong> to submit documents before the cutoff date established in the board announcementfor submission of documents, cannot be used as a basis to request reconsideration. However, the absence of adocument from a <strong>Soldier</strong>’s file may constitute a material error. This is provided the document should have been in theboard file. Also, the document must have been missing because of an administrative error or omission for which the<strong>Soldier</strong> concerned is not responsible.(3) The CDR, HRC–St. Louis (AHRC–MSL) has approval authority for all requests for promotion reconsideration.e. Reconsideration normally will be granted when one or more of the following conditions existed when the<strong>Soldier</strong>’s record was reviewed by a promotion selection board:(1) An adverse NCOER or AER reviewed by the board, was later declared invalid in whole or in part, <strong>and</strong> adetermination was made there was a material error.(2) An adverse document (such as Article 15, courts-martial, <strong>and</strong> so on) belonging to another <strong>Soldier</strong> is filed on theperformance fiche of the nonselected <strong>Soldier</strong>’s OMPR <strong>and</strong> the document was seen by the board.(3) An Article 15 administered on or after 1 September 1979, designated for file in the MPF only, was erroneouslyfiled on the performance fiche of the OMPR <strong>and</strong> was reviewed by the board.(4) An Article 15 punishment that was wholly set aside before 1 September 1979 <strong>and</strong> the set-aside instrument wasnot filed on the performance fiche.(5) An Article 15 punishment that was wholly set aside on or after 1 September 1979 was filed on the performancefiche when reviewed by the board.(6) Court-martial orders were filed on the performance fiche of the OMPR when the findings were not guilty.(7) A document was filed on the performance fiche which erroneously identified the nonselected <strong>Soldier</strong> as AWOLor as a deserter.(8) Receipt of a degree (Associate of Arts, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science) was not recorded on theperformance fiche or the qualification record, or was not seen in hard copy by the board. Only college degrees from anaccredited college or university <strong>and</strong> shown on an official transcript will be considered. The date of the degree will notbe earlier than 3 months before the convening date of the board or later than the day before the convene date of theoriginal board.(9) An award of a Meritorious Service Medal or higher award (initial award only) was not recorded on theperformance fiche (OMPR), the qualification record (DA Form 2–1), Personnel Electronic Records ManagementSystem, or not reviewed in hard copy by the board. The date used for determination of reconsideration will be the dateof the order or the effective date, which ever is later, <strong>and</strong> will be more than 45 days before the convening date of theboard.(10) An annual or change of rater NCOER was received at HRC–St. Louis Evaluation Reports Division earlyenough for processing <strong>and</strong> filing in the promotion consideration file before the convening date of the PromotionSelection Board but was not reviewed. Ninety days is allowed for processing after the ending month of the report.(11) A <strong>Soldier</strong> was considered <strong>and</strong> selected by the board in the wrong MOS per paragraph 6–3g(2).f. The following items do not constitute material error as defined in paragraph 6–13e <strong>and</strong> reconsideration will not begranted.( 1 ) O m i s s i o n o f l e t t e r s o f a p p r e c i a t i o n , c o m m e n d a t i o n s , c o n g r a t u l a t i o n s , o r o t h e r s i m i l a r c o m m e n d a t o r ycorrespondence.(2) Documents not derogatory having been filed on the wrong performance fiche.(3) Absence of documents written, prepared, or computed on or after the convene date of the board.(4) Incorrect data on a DA Form 2–1 <strong>and</strong> DA Form 2A had been reviewed <strong>and</strong> confirmed by the <strong>Soldier</strong> prior toreview by the board.(5) Absence of an official photograph or presence of an outdated photograph.AR 600–8–19 • 20 March 200897
